[Verse 1] The email landed on a crowded train I read the first line three times again Six months of "thanks, but not this time" Now there's a start date next to mine Called my mother, got her answering tone Left a little laughter after the hello [Pre-Chorus] I bought no bottle, booked no flight Just took the long way home tonight Same old pavement, different view Every red light let me move [Chorus] I've got good news in my good shoes Can't keep still even if I choose A little more yes, a little less blues I've got good news in my good shoes Nothing in my pocket's changed just yet But I can feel the weight come off my chest Let the whole block hear my shoes Tap-tap, I've got good news [Verse 2] That little diner knows my coffee black The guy behind the counter waved me back I told him why I couldn't settle down He turned the kitchen radio up loud My phone lit up with Mom calling me She said, "I knew," then cried a little anyway [Pre-Chorus] Monday's gonna bring a lot to learn Tonight I'm taking this slow-earned turn To let a small thing feel this big And put my whole heart into it [Chorus] I've got good news in my good shoes Can't keep still even if I choose A little more yes, a little less blues I've got good news in my good shoes Nothing in my pocket's changed just yet But I can feel the weight come off my chest Let the whole block hear my shoes Tap-tap, I've got good news [Bridge - intimate solo vocal and grand piano] To every version of me who almost quit I wish that you could see me feeling this Your tired feet got me here Now listen to them, loud and clear [Instrumental interlude - live orchestra, no vocals] [Final Chorus] I've got good news in my good shoes Can't keep still even if I choose A little more yes, a little less blues I've got good news in my good shoes There's a long way left, but I won't forget The night I let the weight come off my chest Let the whole block hear my shoes Tap-tap, I've got good news
